Has anyone experienced the Trans day on a Tuesday? Wondering what’s the vibe like?

357 loyalty card offer -> rip off

There's an offer of loyalty card, however, the venue never promotes this offer and/or ask the patrons if they want one. Once you paid and entered the venue without asking for a loyalty card, you ask the loyalty card and a stamp a few minutes later, the staff just hands you a blank card without a stamp and refer you to use the card for the next visit. Hasn't the patron just paid the entry fee, why have to get a stamp for the next visit? Not happy at all, what a rip-off.

Curious

Quick question. A lot of comments mention there are a lot of older white guys attending the sauna (which I like). Are they generally tops (which I am after) or bottoms or a balanced mix?

Misleading

Paid entry to find no dj as advertised on their Facebook page in fact they pick and choose what they response to lest this place will be closing down end of the week

Unlimited fun

I’m a regular at 357 and have also been to other gay bathhouses but 357 is the best. I’ve been with Asians, chubs, big guy’s, little guys , alsorts and have very rarely gone home without being satisfied. Staffing is always great and theme nights always get you going. It’s hard not to get excited when you have a good choice of bodies to explore and experience. I have many fond memories of the place and had a great encounter with a young man who was Indian and let me tell you he knew how to please his partner. I can’t believe that someone would run this place down. Being the best I guess is always hard. Thanks to everyone for great times past and future

Good value for $30 clean towels, showers, and you can always find someone that will do what you want. What could be better ? Enjoy 357 for the value that it is.

Only decent sauna I've been to

Good facilities but I feel like it's not worth it for me to go on weekday nights after work. I haven't tried Friday nights which apparently peak. I dunno, 3 years ago, I used to snag at least one guy a night but I'm pretty sure the last 4 times I've gone empty handed. There's just not enough population for a twink that loves bears.

in defence of 357

In case some readers are alarmed by some of the recent reviews, I believe someone is intentionally smearing this venue (also happening on another website). First up the nonsense about their pricing is easy to disprove. Just check their official website. Maximum price is $30 on weekends/ public holidays. Regarding cleanliness and smell, I assure you it is not a problem. Sometimes I go on a Wednesday lunchtime, which a very popular nude event and one of their busiest times. The dark room gets a bit messy following this, but I have never come across a smell issue.

Sauna made in Heaven

I have eagerly visited twice upon my visit to Sydney and the most easiest location in CBD. I have had so much enjoyment on my couple visits and was lucky to come across some friendly guys just like their staff.. Met a guy from my own country we hanged out and joined others it was a Sauna made in Heaven It was extremely busy the day after Mardi Gras I will look forward again on my next visit?

Welcoming

It's always a pleasure to visit this sauna in Sydney and everytime I've been busy or not the staff are super efficient in keeping the place clean and at off times will ask if one is having a good time, the upstairs chill room and eats is a top idea. Sydney should have had that years ago...er dah dah hello! World class city...wake up you other venues) only one negative, you need a larger spa guys but overall worth every cent a visit.

wonderful experience

I have been here a few times. Generally weekday afternoon into early evening. There is a strong Asian presence, perhaps around half, which I love. GWM are perhaps over-represented by their more senior members, but there are certainly some good ones there. The space itself is great. First level has showers, steam room, dry sauna, jacuzzi. Steam room, in particular, a lot of action. Levels 2, and 3 are the cruising areas, cubicles. Generally spacious and clean. Love it!

Saturday night, naked night!

Called in last Saturday night, about 7pm. It’s always good to see the keyboard almost empty when you are paying and Saturday nights seem to get a big crowd. A good mix of people old, young, fit and not so much. Most of the younger crowd were Asian, which I love, but it would be good to see a bit more variety. 357 is such a well run venue it attracts big crowds for its events. If your thinking of trying out a sauna, give 357 a go-but maybe not at the peak times as it could be a bit intimidating for a newbie. I love naked nights. Guys seem a lot less inhibited and ready to play. It was already packed when I got there. I barely had a chance to get my bearings before a muscular twenty something caught my eye. When it’s busy the staff do struggle to keep it clean, but they do their best and a little mess is to be expected when you have a few hundred men rooting all over the place! Awesome sauna - try to go to naked/blackout nights or one of their other events for the biggest crowds.

nice fuck by more than one guys

I went there last weekend and it was super pleasant. I started it with a nice glory hole and finished by having fun three lovely old guys (not at the same time). You can easily get watched when someone is working on you which is what I like doing.

Packed sunday afternoon 2 to 530pm, full of variety of occupants, doesnt feel to be the cleanest sauna but fun can be had in light or dark rooms. Staff fine, music a bit dance party but all in all a good spot.

Best Sauna in Sydney...

I was on a Sunday night at 357. It had a lot of people in the place. Not only Asian or old, but also many young and different nationalities. I was very surprised and can ONLY write positive.

The only good sauna

My husband and I visited this sauna a couple of times and it was great. The staff is really friendly in the best way. The sauna area is small but very nice. The maze, video room, and the glory hole areas are great fun. There were many hot men there, and the other saunas in Sydney are not worth the visit. This is the only one worth spending the money on.

Friendly management who try for their customers

I have visited 357 many times and find the staff and management friendly. In Sydney this counts for a lot. (Heard of Sydney attitude?) The foam party is really well done and the top floor lounge with cafe and separate movie room are great for socialising and relaxing. The facilities are good although the locker areas always seem congested and short of space. Lounge and/or house music is never too intrusive. The facilities are good and reasonably well maintained. I would suggest expanding the wet areas with a bit more architectural imagination. Others might not agree. Less of the 1970s black paint and more variation in lighting woukd be good too. However in a city where this type of venue has either closed down or grown completely utilitarian, it is good to go somewhere welcoming, relaxing and with a bit of heart. Oh yes, you can have fun here too.

I have been here twice being a married person. Wow what an experience. the atmosphere was great and wandering around seeing what happens was amazing. Nice people and very relaxing. I felt comfortable being my first journey into a sauna. All in all what an experience and I look forward to going back to Sydney one day and dropping in again. Thanks to all at 357

work and play

Came here 4-6pm on a Sunday. The place was like their website described. Definitely a lot of guys though not the triple digits advertised (which is good cause I can't imagine this place holding that many people!). Most guys appear to be Asian as well as more mature Caucasians (close to 100 total). The stand out for this place is the variety of activities you can do. Glory holes rooms, cinema room, chill out room, swings, live camera room, shackle rooms as well as your standard things. If variety is the spice of life then 357 is a spice rack!
